Orleans teen injured at central intersection

An 18-year-old man and his passenger were taken to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries following a crash at the intersection of Route 28 and Route 6A yesterday afternoon, according to Orleans police.

ORLEANS — An 18-year-old man and his passenger were taken to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries not regarded as life threatening following a crash at the intersection of Route 28 and Route 6A yesterday afternoon, according to police officials.

The teen, Taylor Walling of Orleans, will be cited for a marked lane violation and failure to yield after the Honda Accord he was driving turned in front of a Ford Bronco heading north on Route 6A at 4:08 p.m., said Orleans police Sgt. James Rosato.

The driver of the Bronco, James Cunning, 38, of New Jersey, was uninjured, Rosato said.

The Bronco's front tires ended up on the hood of the Accord, making it appear a lot worse than it was, Rosato said.

A spokeswoman at Cape Cod Hospital said Walling was still being evaluated in the emergency room at press time last night.
